Watchdog timer library for Android

Simple WatchDog Timer library for Android. If not periodically reset, the wdt object will fire a callback after a period of time defined when object is instantiated.

Installation

Add Jitpack in Project's gradle file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }      <-- add this line
    }
}

and add dependency in app's gradle file

    implementation 'com.github.PaoloneM:android-wdt:1.0.0'

Usage

Let your class implement the WdtCallback interface:

override fun onWdtExpired() {
    // Do something when Wdt Expires
}

Create a watchdog timer

val timeout: Int = 10              // Timeout in seconds
val callback: WdtCallback = this   // The callback to fire when WDT expires

val wdt: Wdt = Wdt(context, timeout, callback)

The timer starts counting, so you have to periodically reset it by calling

wdt.reset()

When you have done with it, remember to disable it by calling

wdt.clear()
